If you say so. I just don’t know how you can bottle everything up like that. Being stuck in the wrong time, place, and body all at once is isolating enough as it is.
[ she’s either dealing with it way better than Simon did, or way, way worse.
maybe both, her method doesn’t sound super healthy. ]
Why not? You don’t seem to have a problem deciding what makes other people weak. A lot of people would say that mercy and compassion are strengths, not optional favors.
And a weakling, no matter their desire to give, will never find themself in position to do so. Is it a foreign tongue I speak? Is that why you never understand what it is I say?
We are continuing the mission. It’s called multitasking. I didn’t want this to turn into another argument, either. Yelling about which one of us is failing somehow by not prioritizing the right things hasn’t been getting us anywhere.
[ he keeps thinking he won’t do it the next time he talks to her, too. What is the wizardry Rey’s been using? ]
[ ...which isn’t that big a deal; Simon’s self-esteem isn’t rocky enough for her barbs to be particularly offensive. But it does make it clear that talking to her, because they’ve had some similar experiences, or because being lumped in with the humans who all accept each other and ostracize her bothers him, or both, is not as simple as trying to listen without insulting her back.
Knowing she’s so prickly to everyone — even Rey said Hayame finds apologies insulting — should make it simpler. People get mad at her or find things to disagree with because she’s being a dick. But that’s becoming clear in tandem with the fact that in comparison to everyone else Simon’s met on the team, or ever, her perspective on life is itself incredibly foreign and brutal. ]

So, there’s no room in the Warrior Code for mercy and compassion? Or is that just you?

Why does it even matter? Why is being strong so much more important than everything else?

I will not die like that.

[ hayame oh my god ]
What is it with the dying thing? Nobody’s asking you to. We’d all really prefer it if you didn’t die, actually.no subject

Wait, wait, Hayame— Jesus Christ, okay, now I’m even more worried. Look, you’ll be out of there soon, don’t do anything dangerous.how is Simon supposed to take this? He can’t afford to not take it seriously, right? WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO... ]

I will be out of here once it is no longer necessary that we hide amongst these humans! So continue the mission!

Do you accuse me of sowing it, then? You came to me- I had no plans to waste my time on arguments this day either.

[because to her... it's insulting to be asked after, to be looked upon as someone who might need help or be weak.
apparently this "team" thought that was all hunky dory, but... she still isn't buying it, not from most people. not yet.]

And no thanks. I already know you could snap me in half.
